The station has been closed since the fall of a gondola on December 10. Six days later after inspection, the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) ordered the closure of the resort’s aerial lifts.
The RBQ requires expertise on the reasons for the equipment failure and a security clearance. It is also requesting inspections of the other three detachable lifts. Finally, for the five lifts, it requires a training plan and the application of this plan to employees.
In its statement, the station writes that “independent experts have worked tirelessly to review all operating procedures with the goal of ensuring safe operations.”
The station adds that the detachable aerial lifts have been inspected by independent experts.
She also claims to have met the requirements for employees. “The training process for the operating staff of each of our ski lifts has been completely revised. Theoretical and practical training took place last week under the supervision of a project engineer.”
Not immediately
However, after reporting the fixes and inspections to the RBQ, “additional information is requested before the requirements approval process continues,” the statement said.
“The teams in charge of the projects were already back at work at the start of the year in order to provide the details requested as soon as possible and additional training is in progress to deepen certain aspects of the reform of the teams”, added the station.
More details to come.
